Just a few blocks inland from the shore of Lake Superior, the University of Minnesota Duluth is a key player in the culture of the state’s great port city. The rigorous academic standards and top-notch educational and research opportunities have earned UMD recognition as one of the top public schools in the Midwest, with the engineering program in particular garnering high praise of its own. Most of the major university buildings are connected to each other by a network of concourses, allowing you to get around the campus comfortably even during Minnesota’s punishing winters.
With Duluth being a major port city, a college town, and a popular tourist destination, there’s plenty to keep you occupied in your down time. While the university sits in a mostly residential area, Chester Park is close by, providing an excellent area to ride a bike, go for a run, or just enjoy the fresh air. The Downtown Waterfront area is alive with activity every night of the week, with classic college bars like Rex and Sir Benedict’s and popular eateries like Uncle Loui’s catering to the university crowd.
The neighborhoods surrounding UMD are full of great rental options, from efficiency apartments to single-family homes, ensuring that you can find the perfect living arrangements for your budget and lifestyle. The area just south of campus next to Chester Park offers the closest walking access to the main university buildings, but Duluth’s bus service makes it easy to live farther out without having to drive.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
